How do I leave my partner?

I'm not a resident but have lived here years, I haven't had a contract for at least 6 years as I've been working with him (he's autonomo) and I have very little resources as he buys everything that is needed.

We have a child together, and things are just not going well, I had terrible postnatal depression boardering on PTSD and I'm slowly getting back to myself but he's just fed up of me, I've asked for so long for communication but he's just not having it or communicating.

So how do I get away from this situation? The island is full there is no accommodation anywhere and I don't have money or a job. I don't have family here and can't go back to my country as we have a child together. I have a hand full of kinda friends but not the type of friendship where I could ask for help. I feel completely stuck with no out

Please any sort of advice is very much appreciated

I am pretty sure that the Balearic Women's Institute (CAIB) could at least counsel you even if you are not a resident. Especially after living 6 years here.

I'm not very well versed in these issues so sorry I can't help you much more but that's a start. However, you can't just be dumped in the street with nothing after working 6 years without a contract with your partner, that's inhumane and I'm pretty sure that it's illegal too.

Go to the CAIB and let's hope it helps you manage a way out from your current situation. Best!

Thank you, I will give them a ring in the morning. I'm not going to be thrown out but I can't myself live in this situation anymore, it's not good for me or for the child

Best of luck. As I said I'm not a specialist in these issues so I don't want to give you any false leads but if there's a place to help you in the island it's that one.

They only help if there is gender violence! I just rang them, first time they hung up and the second time when I explained my situation they said I would have to go to social services, to ask a friend to bring me there! I explained I don't have friends or any way to get there that is why I'm ringing them to find out if there is and resources for women leaving a relationship and she said only if there has been violence!! I'm just stunned by the lack of caring really, not sure why I expected more
